So... what are you?

There are many types of questions that are asked when you meet new people. From the most basic, "What is your name?" to "What are your interest?". Those questions are asked to know the person you are meeting better, but in my case there are some really irritating questions that pops out from nowhere. Those questions are " Are you Japanese?", "Are you Korean?" and "Are you Chinese?". Well, sorry all of the nationalities in your questions are all wrong, I'm Taiwanese. Sometimes, I really want to put a tag on myself saying " I'm a Taiwanese!" to prevent all those questions. I really dislike answering questions, and don't ask me why because I don't know either. In case you don't know where is Taiwan. Taiwan is a really small country located on the Pacific Ocean, and you can call Taiwan a place combined by Japanese and Chinese culture. I know it is because of my face that people would mistaken me as so much different nationalities. My eyes are not really big, my skin color is really close to Japanese people's skin color, and my hair is really black. Basically, I have the typical Asian look. I really understand the reason I get mistaken as so many nationalities, but I just can't accept it deep inside my heart. Maybe you can call this the Asian pride.
